What the numbers say
Season to date, measured against the rest of the division.
Attack
The chances are not being made
20th of 20 for big chances created, and it shows in the goals. The problem is making them, not taking them.
5
big chances
Attack
Wasteful, not toothless
Scoring about 15% below what their shot volume supports. Finishing that far below the run rate usually corrects.
0.85
goals per expected
Defence
They win the ball back
7th in the division for tackles. A side doing that much defending is either pressing well or living without the ball.
79

Shutouts are becoming a habit
